After two years of failing to pass a bill in Colorado that would have allowed illegal immigrants to pay tuition lower than out-of-state rates but higher than in-state rates, Democrats  now in control of both chambers  are pushing new legislation to allow the students to go to college at the in-state rate.

"What we're looking at is a simpler, more equitable approach to tuition," said state Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, one of the lawmakers leading the effort. Johnston and state Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, are are holding a press conference Tuesday with supporters of the bill.

Just another attempt to give amnesty to illegals.At the start it was is deferred action, next social security cards,work permits. Now the illegals believe it is their human right to have drivers licenses. Free college educations and --Just last week Federal authorities released the mother and brother of a prominent illegal immigrant activist Friday morning after Hispanic and immigrant-rights activists objected and flooded the Obama administration with phone calls.

Erika Andiola, a prominent illegal immigrant Dream Act activist who qualified for President Obamas new non-deportation policy, said her mother and older brother were arrested at their Arizona home overnight Thursday, but both have been released following the outcry and pressure on Homeland Security officials.

But she and other activists said the arrest should push the administration to halt all deportations and instead legalize the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.  something they said Hispanics earned through the power of their votes in the 2012 elections.

I will keep fighting for it, Ms. Andiola said. We want President Obama to keep his word on immigration reform.Ms. Arreola was picked up in a traffic stop last month in Mesa, Ariz., but was released after immigration authorities decided not to detain her at that time. Marielena Hincapie, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, said she another victim of driving while brown under Arizonas new law that allows police to check the immigration status of those they encounter and suspect of being in the country illegally

Ms. Andiola said she wasnt sure why her family was targeted.In a statement, ICE press secretary Barbara Gonzalez said that after a review, both the mother and brother appeared to be candidates for prosecutorial discretion  even though one of them has been ordered deported.

In California, Mexican invaders get in-state tuition while the many military men and women stationed there have to pay out-of-state rates. It is VERY much more expensive for out-of state, something like triple at state universities.

That makes sense from the left wing’s perspective. Someone who enters our country illegally and enrolls in a Colorado college illegally should pay less than my children if they dare to enroll legally from a different state. I’d better go read some Alice, so I can believe six impossible things before breakfast and relate to liberals.
